In November 2016, at the same venue, Martinez (20-0-1, 13 KOs), 25, of Puerto Rico, and Santiago (15-2-3, 7 KOs), 22, of Mexico, fought to an eight-round draw. One judge had Martinez winning 79-73, but the other two judges each scored the fight 76-76.

Martinez has won two fights in a row by knockout since. Santiago has won three fights in a row by knockout since.

"I'm extremely happy and grateful to once again fight against Alejandro Santiago," Martinez said. "I wanted this fight to get that thorn off my side and to show all of my people what I'm made of. I learned a lot from the first fight because it was so close. I'll walk away with the win by training hard and being in great condition."

Santiago said he was also happy to have a rematch.

"I believe I won the first fight," Santiago said. "It was a close fight, but this time there will be no doubts. I'm working really hard for this fight. I'm very motivated, and I think that a victory will put me on the pathway to a world title. Martinez is a great fighter, and I know it will be a great fight. It'll be a fight between Mexico and Puerto Rico, which is always big for boxing."

The co-feature, also a 10-rounder in the 115-pound division, will match Joshua Franco (13-0, 6 KOs), 22, of San Antonio, against Lucas Fernandez (11-1-1, 8 KOs), 26, of Argentina.
